Rabbinical court fines female divorce refuser despite her ultimately approving move

 https://www.israelhayom.com/2022/04/13/rabbinical-court-fines-female-divorce-refuser-despite-her-ultimately-approving-move/

The Jerusalem Rabbinical Court recently ordered a woman who refused to divorce her cancer-stricken husband despite his pleas for three years to pay a fine of hundreds of thousands of shekels.

Although details of the case have not been made public, this is likely the first incident of a rabbinical court fining a female divorce refuser. The court first ordered the woman to pay a weekly 1,250 shekel (around $400) fine eight months ago until she agreed to a divorce.
